Hello my lovelies! This is MirrorSparkles1234's fault, she inspired me whilst I was on a train and still a little drunk! Also she's blackmailing into writing more with promises of Jacha fluff :3 Anyway, hope you enjoy, it's all pretty self explanatory so I don't really need to say more :)
Zosia awoke at around midnight with a tightening feeling in her lower abdomen, she sat herself up slowly and whispered, "Arthur? Arthur are you awake?" When there was no reply she flicked on the bedside lamp and looked over to the other side of the bed. Only on seeing that it was empty did she realise that her fiancé and soon to be father of her child was out on his stag do. Dom had suggested they have it then because they wouldn't have time once the baby had arrived, obviously the junior doctor was reluctant to leave his heavily pregnant fiancé but the baby wasn't due for another week so she insisted he go out and enjoy himself. As she felt another twinge across her stomach she began to wish she wasn't so stubborn.
She gently swung herself around and sat cautiously on the edge of her and Arthur's double bed. She picked up her phone from the bedside table and quickly dialled her fiancé's number - straight to voice mail. 'Idiot' she thought to herself, though whether she was referring to him or herself she wasn't sure. She then tried Dom's, it rang for a while but still no answer. She tried Arthur again - still nothing. Unexpectedly, as she scrolled through her phone contacts, another sharp pain enveloped her body and she let out a paltry cry. Panicking slightly she struggled to think of who else she could turn to; Jessie would be out with Dom and Arthur, so would Guy (not that she would ever turn to her father for help) and her best friend Luke from their Northchurch days was off skiing in the French alps with his idiot father. This left her only one option...
Colette was sitting on the floor in the middle of her lounge, surrounded by a mountain of paperwork, with a pen in one hand and a large glass of red wine in the other when her mobile phone began to vibrate in her pocket. The clock on her mantle piece read '00:15' so she was understandably hesitant to answer. Until that is, she caught sight of the called ID and almost jumped up of the floor and answered hurriedly,
"Zosh? What's happened?" From the other end of the phone she heard a small reserved squeak of a voice,
"Colette...something's wrong" the nurse caught wind of the fear in the young woman's voice which took her back to when she was a student nurse looking after her friend's daughter while he visited his sick wife. She quickly began to fumble around putting her shoes and coat on as she reassured the Mum to be on the phone,
"Alright Chick stay calm, I'm on my way."
Zosia was pacing around the lounge, which was covered in empty Chinese cartons and pizza boxes as she had become to lazy to do any cooking in recent weeks, stopping a couple of times when a contraction forced her to. Eventually she heard a knock on the door but before she got there to open it Colette had barged in in a panic anyway. She met a teary eyed Zosia in the hallway with a sudden sigh of relief, then flung her arms out as the junior doctor doubled over with a gasp as another contraction.
"Ok?" the older woman checked as Zosia straightened herself out and nodded, then asked "How many contractions have you had Zosh?"
"That was five" Zosia replied quietly, smoothing her hand over her swollen abdomen as her baby kicked beneath the walls of her uterus.
"Right, that's good" Colette smiled, attempting to reassure the terrified young woman in front of her. "Where's Artie?" Zosia sighed and gestured towards her phone in her hand,
"I don't know. I mean, he's out on his stag do...but he's not picking up his phone." Colette rolled her eyes and sighed,
"bloody men, you're Dad was the same when your Mum went into labour with you." Zosia smiled a sad smile at the thought of her Mama as a tear escaped her eye. "Oh Zosh I'm sorry" Colette said softly as she placed a caring hand on Zosia's shoulder, "She would be so proud of you you know." The pregnant doctor took a deep shaky breath before she wiped her eyes and asked, sounding like a child,
"So what do we do now?" Colette smiled, keeping her hand on Zosia's shoulder as she suggested,
"Let's go and sit down, and try and get hold of your imbecile of a fiancé" and ushered her into the lounge.
"Oh for goodness sake boy, pick up your phone!" Colette shouted as she hit Arthur's voicemail for the fifth time, "any luck on Dom?" she asked as she looked up from her phone, too see Zosia resting her head in her hands, gritting her teeth through the pain as she shook her head. She quickly jumped out of her seat and moved over to Zosia's chair where she perched on the arm rest, rubbing her hand up and down her back. Just as the contraction subsided the latch on the front door clicked and they heard Dom chant,
"I'm hoooooome" as he stumbled through the hallway. Zosia heaved herself wearily to her feet and rushed into the hallway,
"Dom thank god y-" she stopped abruptly as she realised something. "Where's Arthur?" she asked almost silently as her heart sank into the pit of her stomach. Dom, leaning against the wall to keep himself upright, looked back at Zosia with wide eyes and quietly said
"he was in the taxi with me, you don't think...oh god" he then exploaded with laughter at the realisation of what had happened. Through laughing and gasping for breath he said "Artie's still in the taxi!"
Just as he spoke there was a sound of water splashing on the carpet beneath them. Dom looked again at Zosia and laughing ever more, he asked
"Zosia! Did you just wet yourself?" before she turned and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
Colette was glaring at the other, very inhebriated, young doctor now and as she pulled him into the lounge by his ear she ordered,
"You. Get yourself sobered up and then find that idiot and tell him to get back here bloody quick because, unfortunately for this poor kid, he is about to be a father."
Hope you liked it, probably not going to be very long - 3 or 4 chapters at most :)
